Guaranteed DLT3C stepping 1800+ chips for sale at Compu-Plus!

felinusz · Feb 2, 2004

I figured I may as well post a new thread about this so more people can see it - two others so far have bought processors here, and received week 48+ chips that are unlocked.

These are normal 256k cache Thoroughbreds, thought to be discontinued, but apparantly still in production in small numbers.

The webpage says that the stepping is guaranteed DLT3C too:

So, if you want a (probably unlocked) DLT3C 1800+ Thoroughbred, and have $49 to blow, this may well be your place

Beats buying a locked Barton if you ask me

There's nothing preventing them from being T-Bred A's, and considering how no one really wants those, that's probably what they are

. People are just going to have to get used to being a little more careful in configuring a system now. A locked multiplier really shouldn't be an issue for most.

True, excepting that the two that have been reported here are both 'B's. Sure, two reports doesn't mean much if you consider the number of chips they possibly are selling; it's always a chance you take unless you see the chip before buying.

This is mostly interesting because it shows that the Thoroughbred is still in production.

They are most likely B cores but I'm having some problems of getting any good speeds out of mine. It's very comparable to my DUT3C 1700 in terms of speeds. Only goes up to 2.1 reliably, after that, fails prime at any voltage.

jus wondering wat happens if u got an old tbred A chip?

well that is something to be determined still... as you and i both are using a7n8x's, which stupidly limit vcore to 1.75v. this weekend we will find out when i break out the nf7 once again, and i will really give this chip the juice that it wants. i can promise you that with enough volts it will do 2300, as mine did, but volts are the issue there.

*after-the-fact-edit* sorry, i just now noticed were using 1.9v... i still think it will do 2300 with enough juice. like i said in the other thread, my dut3c's were funny in that they like to be burned in for quite a while before really being pushed.

Are you sure it shows that it is still in production? T-bred A cores had been out of production for a very long time, but they can still show up on recent week chips.
